Call for Hucoint Student Reaction-- Issue no. 1

In a class report made by Megan Quines, she said that according to CNN there is a rising demographic of high school students using mobile phones and PDA technology. This has caused some schools to ban PDAs and cell phones with the fear of cheating and student distraction.

Now let's have a hypothetical situation-- the university feared also the possible rise in cheating incidents and student distraction with the liberal use of mobile phones, PDAs, MP3 players and thumb/flash drives.

Hence, every time there will be an exam, the student who will take the exam will have to submit his/her techy gadget to the security. The security in return provides a claim tag in each of the items. There will be a pigeon hole to hold these gadgets/devices while the students take the exam. A student before entering the exam room will be scanned by the teacher with a metal detector to check if he/she has submitted his phone or PDA to the security.

Question: Do you find this solution justifiable? Why or why not? ( Make sure to give your answers in relation to the main issue.

The Hitter

a routine visitor

it takes away ideas

and on some occasions break the momentum

or takes away the energy

it goes through the nerves

when it snaps

it draws a line around the edge of the anterior

brings more than discomfort

happy to induce pain

may intend to take good memories

it just won't stop..
